I've always thought that it did add a slight honey taste to the beer, but I really wonder how much of that is psychological. I've done enough study of how preconceptions effect perception to be skeptical of my own tastings when it isn't done blind. And I haven't done that with honey malt.

Maybe they need to change that pie chart to include audio post production types . . .

I was an English major in college, and that's one I still get wrong almost every time!

I usually ask myself, if I change the word to "create" or "change", which one makes more sense? Are you creating perception or changing perception? Change is affect, create is effect.

It might not work in all sentences, but it's easy to remember which is which - affect has a C in it, and change starts with C.

But...but...but...effect has a c in it, too!

And... AND... "Change" and "Create" both start with "C"! The way I always remember it is that one may affect the effect, which is kind of a shorthand way of saying that when you affect a situation, you have had an effect on it. Just remember it's in alphabetical order.

I never understood "they're" I always just write they are. Writing an a is just as easy.

It may depend on your accent, but I have no problem with affect and effect because they sound so much different the way I say them. All I need to do is say the sentance out loud and I immediately know which to use. On the other hand, I've never said "they are" in my life so it would be really difficult for me to start writing it.

I don't remember before 5 digit phone numbers, but I do remember having to be careful not to say anything you wouldn't say in public on the party line.
